I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 219
Meteor Strike (2)
Three in Japan.
Four in Vietnam.
Four in the Philippines.
When he had finished off exactly 11 of them, Baek Jin-woo’s shop points were exactly 1,179.
‘Originally I should keep pushing straight through Thailand and Indonesia.’
But for now, he decided to stop.
To minimize civilian casualties as much as possible?
Most countries had already suffered all the damage they were going to suffer from the Three-Headed Dragons.
True to being raid mobs centered around the Player Zone, the Three-Headed Dragons didn’t venture beyond a certain radius from there.
So there were only two possibilities.
Either they had already been caught, or they had already been devastated.
There was no need to rush anymore.
Baek Jin-woo received permission from the Philippine Government and entered the Player Zone located in Manila.
It was located in Intramuros, one of Manila’s districts, and was installed in Santiago Fortress, called the oldest fortress.
One surprising thing.
The Chaos Dragon absolutely never touched the inside of the Player Zone.
So there were quite a lot of survivors inside.
“Wow!”
“It’s Baek Jin-woo!”
“Thank you! Thank you so much for coming to our city first!”
First.
Avoiding the people who recognized Baek Jin-woo and came rushing over, he entered the Raid-exclusive Shop.
Click!
He picked a room.
[Current shop point score: 1,179]
[Conditions are met.]
[Door is opening.]
He unlocked the door and went in.
It was really convenient that the Player Zone didn’t discriminate by nationality.
The Raid-exclusive Shop is opening.
Please refer to the following list!
…
Ignoring the list that kept appearing, he scrolled all the way down and immediately looked for the VIP shop.
…
30. VIP Shop Access – 1,000 points
…
He didn’t even hesitate.
He just boldly pressed the purchase button.
[Do you really want to open the VIP shop?]
[Y/N]
Other world Rankers were probably also working hard to catch Three-Headed Dragons, but Baek Jin-woo would probably be the fastest to open this, right?
“Yes.”
Then.
The VIP shop is opening.
Please refer to the following list!
Some items are limited edition!
Don’t miss this opportunity!
1. Black Tiger (Limited) – 1,000
2. Fire Fierce (Limited) – 1,000
3. Frost Drake (Limited) – 1,000
4. Steel Wyvern (Limited) – 1,000
5. Chaos Golem (Limited) – 1,000
…
28. Explosive Poison (Limited) – 1,000
29. Dark Bone (Limited) – 1,000
30. Ghost Knight (Limited) – 1,000
…
Baek Jin-woo slowly scanned through the shop list.
As expected.
The beginning was filled with A-grade unique summons.
These were summons that originally only existed one per entire server, and could only be bought from this shop.
In the old days, he would have frantically secured them first… but the current Baek Jin-woo wasn’t readily drawn to them.
Oh, by the way.
That Chaos Golem was the A-grade puppet.
A creature equivalent to combining Song Yeon-hee’s Fire Golem (B-grade), Water Golem (B-grade), Mokrui (B-grade), Geumrui (B-grade), and Earth Golem (B-grade).
‘In the old days, I would have bought this one first.’
For now, he put it off.
Sorry, but rather than using one more of those things, it would be much more helpful to have Aso learn one more skill.
‘Selection and focus.’
Now Baek Jin-woo had no intention of increasing his summons anymore.
Unless he obtained an awakened summon useful for the 80s or 90s floors.
‘Should I look more?’
Baek Jin-woo continued scrolling down below number 31.
From there on, it was items rather than summons.
31. Pure Gene Summoning Scroll x 1 – 1,000
32. Random Skill Summoning Scroll x 1 – 1,000
33. 1 Ton Gold Bar Summoning Scroll x 3 – 1,000
34. Supreme Movement Speed Increase Scroll x 3 – 1,000
35. Life Scroll x 3 – 1,000
…
48. Eternal Snow Ginseng x 1 – 1,000
49. Sky Blue Stone Oil x 1 – 1,000
Things like these.
They were all 1,000 points.
They were all familiar items.
Things only given to teams that achieved meaningful results in the World League and things that came out with extremely low probability from the Tower of Trials.
‘Oh, there are elixirs too.’
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes lit up.
And they weren’t even limited edition.
Rather, if he had 1,000 points, these would be better than the previous summons.
Because these were things that could permanently enhance his EX-grade creatures.
In the case of Eternal Snow Ginseng, all stats permanently increased by 50, and in the case of Sky Blue Stone Oil, all stats permanently increased by 30 and HP by 10,000.
‘I absolutely have to buy these regularly.’
He still didn’t know how many Three-Headed Dragons there were, and he didn’t know when they would respawn again either…
If there was grinding to be done?
He planned to only grind Three-Headed Dragons from now on.
Honestly, he hadn’t run Monday Dungeons in quite a while now.
They were almost meaningless.
Anyway, the list now had exactly one item remaining…
‘Ha.’
That was somewhat annoying.
50. VVIP Shop Access – 10,000 points
“Damn, seriously.”
A curse escaped his lips.
I opened VIP, and now there’s VVIP inside it?
Just how many points are they trying to drain with this…
‘Only I could possibly open this.’
Rachel? Sugoi? Jenos?
Not a chance.
Who could open something that requires processing 100 Three-Headed Dragons with perfect contribution?
“Hmm.”
Baek Jin-woo closed his eyes.
Though he currently only had 179 points…
Buy that elixir? Or try opening the VVIP shop? If he had to choose between the two…
“Obviously VVIP.”
Something that costs a whopping 10,000 points to open – how amazing must the contents be?
Though screwing over Players is a characteristic of Battle of Summoners, this time he’d trust it.
Baek Jin-woo nodded and closed the shop window before heading outside.
Baek Jin-woo continued hunting Three-Headed Dragons.
2 in Thailand, 11 in Indonesia, 9 in Pakistan, 6 in Bangladesh, 57 in India…
India was especially jackpot.
Why were there so many damn Player Zones?
Actually, it wasn’t surprising.
World’s largest population.
The number of cities exceeded 4,000.
The Indian government warmly welcomed Baek Jin-woo’s visit.
57 cities including the capital Mumbai were paralyzed, so naturally they had to welcome him.
He was the person who could resolve that situation fastest in the entire world.
Therefore, even amid the dire circumstances, they prepared lavish banquets, traditional instruments, and dance performances.
Of course.
Baek Jin-woo was in a hurry.
He wanted to accumulate points as quickly as possible.
“I’ll hunt Three-Headed Dragons instead of dining.”
There was no time to waste on meals in places like this.
“I don’t need any rewards. Just guide me to the locations.”
The method was as follows.
1. Hunkyo and Aso.
2. Destruction Dragon and Baek Jin-woo.
3. Pokryong.
4. Everyone else.
They split up to hunt the Three-Headed Dragons.
Ah, Hunkyo and Aso were exceptions.
Those two remained in the summoned regions to focus on training day and night.
When the 5-hour time limit ended?
Baek Jin-woo would summon them again.
Hunkyo used all the basic knowledge he possessed to try breaking Aso’s common sense.
It wasn’t scientific knowledge.
He continuously instilled unscientific and supernatural situations.
– There are no absolute laws in the world, Aso. The possible and impossible you currently believe are merely boundaries set by your consciousness. You must cross those boundaries once more.
– I know, I understand but…
If only it were as easy as it sounds!
If thinking “I’ll do it” made it happen instantly, it wouldn’t be a difficult technique.
However, he understood what Hunkyo was saying.
‘There can’t be even 1% doubt.’
The keyword was conviction.
100% conviction.
Simply thinking “I want to” wasn’t enough.
Just as you don’t think about breathing and then breathe, but naturally respire, going to that mountain peak and back should become as natural as flowing water.
Wind Without Trace was the same.
‘Only when I couldn’t distinguish whether I was the wind or the wind was me could I finally become the wind.’
Meteor would be the same.
Aso was good at studying.
Having already received elite education from Hunkyo, he had the basics of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and acupoints memorized.
Hunkyo had said.
Memorizing the locations and functions of hundreds of acupoints was something most martial artists couldn’t do.
Even if someone forced themselves to memorize it, absolutely no one could utilize it instinctively.
But?
Aso could do it.
Whooom!
His ki manipulation was already beginning to take on the same color as Meteor’s power.
– …
Hunkyo’s eyes widened as he remained quiet.
When Aso was attempting something, he shouldn’t interfere.
He had to quietly watch over him.
‘This is insane.’
Inhale, exhale!
Watching Aso breathe in and out with concentration, Hunkyo was shocked.
Aso’s breathing technique had already surpassed Clear Mind Technique and was creating his own unique breathing method.
‘This is right.’
The framework was Clear Mind Technique, but breathing inevitably had to change according to the practitioner.
Because everyone’s physical structure is different.
Ordinary people like us take what someone else created and use it as is, while geniuses like Aso naturally adapt it to suit themselves.
‘The feeling is good.’
Hunkyo clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.
Soon there were signs that Thousand-Li Meteor would reach the first stage.
The corners of Hunkyo’s mouth curved up gently.
Perhaps.
Being able to educate such a genius under his Master was itself a happy life?
North Korea.
A secret villa in a secluded mountain valley was thoroughly guarded by Party soldiers.
In the forest shrouded in deep darkness, only the villa emitted bright light.
A meeting room filled with silence.
Three men were seated there.
Chairman Kim of the State Affairs Commission, Chief of Staff Ri Jang-chol of the Supreme Military Command, and Kim Hyeong-nam, head of the State Security Department.
All were figures standing at the pinnacle of power, capable of making flying birds fall to the ground with a single word.
“Two weeks have already passed since Pyongyang was occupied by the Three-Headed Dragon.”
The Chairman’s gaze was cold.
“Yet we still haven’t prepared a single decent countermeasure to present to the people, tsk.”
General Ri answered with a stern face to the Chairman’s irritated words.
“Comrade Chairman, it has already become a topic of conversation among the people.”
“I suppose so.”
The Chairman closed his eyes briefly and fell into thought.
Everyone wants Baek Jin-woo.
Even at this very moment, attempts to defect are increasing.
If this continues?
Our system could collapse.
‘Where does some American puppet think they’re going, just because they got lucky.’
“Did you issue a warning?”
“Yes!”
This time Kim Hyeong-nam answered.
“The warning is working properly. Currently, Baek Jin-woo is not coming toward us and appears to be touring Southeast Asia first.”
“Tell them we will not tolerate any attempt to interfere with us under the guise of the Three-Headed Dragon.”
That’s when it happened.
Swoosh.
The aide standing behind received a communication and whispered something in Kim Hyeong-nam’s ear.
“…”
Kim Hyeong-nam’s expression hardened seriously.
“What is it? What’s wrong?”
“Comrade Chairman, an unfortunate situation has occurred.”
“What?”
“South Korea’s Intelligence Agency shows signs of attempting to strike our launch sites at their origin.”
“…What?!”
The Chairman shot up from his seat.
“Is this reliable information?”
“I’ll find out more details.”
Grind.
He ground his teeth while looking at Ri Jang-chol.
“Comrade Ri Jang-chol, answer me.”
“Yes!”
“The order I gave you before, have you carried it out?”
“All preparations are complete!”
Preparations?
He was talking about nuclear weapons.
“Good, that’s how it should be. International pressure and whatnot are unnecessary. It’s a life that doesn’t have much left anyway. If they want to test what happens when you provoke a mad dog, let them test it.”
He slowly rose from his seat.
“Korea does not fall easily. They still don’t know how deep the history this land holds is, how strong our people are. Even if we’re pushed back by force, we must show them that touching us will come with a corresponding price.”
Through Japan’s occupation, through American provocations.
Not once did we surrender.
“If they think this history will be severed by mere summoned creatures, they have underestimated this Korea too much.”
The Chairman steeled his resolve.
If South Korea ignores the warning?
He would immediately turn all of South Korea, including Seoul, into a sea of fire.
